Booking Conditions


1. DEFINITIONS:

The Agent refers to Houses of Pelion Ltd., which is acting for each individual property owner, (the Owner), and which is empowered to enter a contract on behalf of the Owner with the Client, who is the person in whose name the booking is made, and, in addition, all those entered on the Booking Form and on whose behalf the booking is made.

2. BOOKING:

Provisional booking of accommodation should be made by telephone, and the signed Booking Form, together with the appropriate deposits should be received by the Agent (or by the person delegated by the Agent for this purpose), within four days following the date of the telephone booking being made. Only after written confirmation has been posted by the Agent on the Owner's behalf will the booking of accommodation become valid.

3. TERMS OF PAYMENT:

The Booking Form must be accompanied by a deposit of £30 per person for a one week holiday, £50 per person for a two week holiday, and £70 for holidays of more than two weeks duration. The balance of payment must be received not less than eight weeks before the date of arrival. The Owner reserves the right to regard the booking as cancelled if the balance of the price remains unpaid after the due date. For bookings made less than eight weeks prior to arrival date, immediate payment of the total holiday cost is required. Remittances made by sterling draft or cheque on a foreign bank will incur a charge of £15, or total charges levied, whichever is the larger, to cover such collection charges.

4. PRICES:

The accommodation prices shown on this website are based on the rate of exchange as at 31st October 2011 Prices may be increased should accommodation costs increase due to changes in the exchange rate, but no additional payment will be requested following settlement of the Final Invoice. Should surcharges imposed after the date of booking exceed 10% of the total accommodation cost the Client has the right to cancel the booking and we will refund in full any monies paid.

5. CANCELLATION BY THE CLIENT:

Any cancellation must be made in writing by the person who signed the Booking Form. Cancellation of accommodation and services will apply from the date of receipt by the Agent of the written cancellation advice. The following cancellation charges will apply:

6. CANCELLATION BY THE OWNER:

In the very unlikely event that specific accommodation ceases to be available as advertised, and the Agent is unable to offer the Client acceptable alternative accommodation, on behalf of the Owner, or of another Owner, the Owner will refund to the Client all money paid (including the deposit), less reasonable expenses of the Owner and the Agent, when the alteration is due to hostilities, political unrest or other circumstances amounting to force majeure.

7. ALTERATIONS BY THE CLIENT:

If the Client wishes to change the composition of his or her party, or to alter any arrangements pertaining to accommodation, transfers, car or boat hire, or hotel bookings following the date of dispatch of the Final Invoice, a fee of £25 per alteration will be charged to cover costs incurred. This does not apply to alterations caused by published changes to flight schedules and timings.

Peliontico General Travel Agency merely arranges and does not accept any responsibility for either the car or boat hire services. The contract is strictly between the Client and the Company concerned. Where the Client has pre-booked and paid for the car in the UK, the Client will, under normal circumstances, take delivery of the car at the airport or port, after signing the contract with the Car Hire Company.
